95% Of Y’all Are Working Your Jerkbaits Incorrectly…(And Don’t Realize It)

[@tagwatson360]

I’ve never played with the vibration on the pause. Will be trying that this winter! Thanks, Randy!

[@Nowwhatfishing]

you can accomplish same on a baitcaster with a denali rod and 8lbs line. I am not saying the whip snake, is the wrong way to go, I am saying the baitcaster set up can be just as effective.

[@Boethius411]

I built my own jerking rod on a 6,9”spin jig blank just so I could put a jerk bait on it and have the control and action I wanted. I used 8-12 lb line depending on the situation. Then I use retrieves Randy would shake his head at too I’m sure. We rip the hell out of them at times especially when the water first starts warming.

Hi Randy. My name is Fred aka SteelheadFred. I've committed to learning/mastering the jerkbait. This is absolutely breaking news to my world and I appreciate that.

[@FiciousCritik]

Without Randy, I'd _still_ be oblivious about jerkbaits. I followed his instructions _exactly_ and landed a nice SM ... on first cast! I told him so. That Whipsnake is of typical MB quality, and feels like it ... looks good too.

[@jimmckenzie5453]

Mega thanks for clearly defining this technique .

[@mellowroot714]

Why would a baitcasting setup thats tailored for jerkbait fishing not work? Like a megabass destroyer oneten stick with 8lb line on an aldebaran

[@markhogquist2000]

Yeah, I just graduated kindergarten. You worked with Yuki Ito on designing the 110? A rod blank doesn't know if it's supposed to be a spinning or casting rod. Builders use whichever blank they choose for either. Both are fully capable of casting, presenting and working a jerkbait.

I end up winning angler of the year...I won a total of 11 tournaments that year I was on fire because of my megabass jerkbait...but I wasn't fishing it like everyone else.. other guys were using one also but I was doing something entirely different...great video brother .

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thx man

[@dong8307]

Great info. Much appreciated.

[@RealCamSmith]

When you get a bite on the jerkbait, do you give a quick pause to hook themselves and give a quick snap upwards towards your off shoulder?

[@Allwayzfishin]

I use this technique on the shores of Lake Erie for cold water walleyes. I have handled well over 400 fish in the past 3 weeks. 6'6" med action graphite rod , diawa Bg3000 with 8lb mono.

[@FarNorthAnglers]

I cast cranks here toward the tip of the mit for walleyes in the fall from shore same thing. 6ft 6 st croix 3000 series spinning reel. 6lb fluro I cast it out give it like 6 hard reel/pops at the same time then I slow it down and crank soft and give it some pops of different calibers and reel faster then slower and sometimes will even give it a couple big rips and I am only fishing an inland lake and I have been bagging like 10+ over 20 inch walleyes a night from shore from 5:00pm-6pm. It’s been awesome. I cast mostly shallow Shad raps as where I am fishing these walleyes is only 3-5ft deep. Caught one that went 28.5 inches the other night. In the past week probably caught 50-60 walleyes over 20 inches and they all have swam away. I don’t fish for bass at all if I catch a bass it’s accidental but I respect Randy a lot.

[@MSL-dv6nx]

Hmmm? Gonna have to try that one. It's hard to believe that with all the success KVD has had with a jerkbait, that he's been fishing it wrong for all these years.

[@chadthayer1982]

There's a reason he's one of the best

[@cmchatton1680]

Great tips Randy!

[@Fishboy68]

Randy this technique must be for slow rise and floaters? Will it work for slow sink and suspending baits?When do you retreive line?

[@MrScubby65]

The Megabasss Whipsnake is a light action that tops out at 3/8 oz lure wt but most jerkbaits including the Magabass 110 weigh 1/2 oz so my question is are you over loading the Whipsnake rod or do you use a light jerkbait? Also you linked to the Megabass Ronin which in the description is made for use with jerbaits and it can handle the 1/2 oz lure as it tops out at 3/4 oz recommended lure weight so why would you not recommend it over the Whipsnake?

[@Fishboy68]

How do you ever get the bait in if you dont reel?

I see in years past you had an Orochi XX Whipsnake and now it seems you show more of the Levante... is there one you prefer over the other? What about the Windbuster, is it to fast/heavy?

[@robertbyrne1937]

Thanks Randy! Great info as usual. I went to the TW website and there are 5 models of the Whipsnake. Can you provide any additional details on the action and power of the rod you recommend? Also, I looked at the Ronin and it looks like it has the same actions and power but it is 3 inches shorter. I'm only 5'7" so a shorter rod may work better for me. Any thoughts on that idea? Thanks!

[@bradr.7249]

I bought the Levante Whipsnake. It works great. I think Randy mentioned the Levante rod in some other videos in the past. I have been using it for the last 2 years and its fantastic so far.

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

I would consider the Levante whipsnake to be a medium action rod with a little bit heavy on the medium side. It is my favorite by far here’s the ones I would recommend….www.tacklewarehouse.com/Megabass_Levante_Spinning_Rods/descpage-MBLSRD.html?from=INTAG

[@rodneychandler82]

Randy hi . Already bought a Megabass 110 rod . But have a Whipsnake as well 🤷‍♂️ . Been following your Jerkbait Vid's . Solid info 👌. Would love to hear your thoughts on why the hooks on the Vision 110's are so scrappy / Weak for an expensive bait . Fish them primarily here in South Africa and Zimbabwe . Bend out way to easily . Not sure Why the manufacturers don't sort it out instead of everyone having to swop them out for G Finess etc .

[@Joelflowers513]

Have you ever used the destroyer addermine for jerk baits.. rod spec is pretty much the same

[@codybertram6122]

Grew up fishing them on spinning rods because baitcasters were too expensive setup. You know you have the right hook set dialed in when you are bringing in those fish lip hooked. If you can get a hook in the kissers then the ones that t bone it are screwed.

[@dnlsongs]

Can others chime in, and Randy what do recommend- regarding jerkbaits on spinning gear, is it best practice to load reel with braid and have fluorocarbon leader to tie to the jerkbait (or) to load reel with fluoro and to tie to jerkbait ? And what is best Lb test with spinning with jerkbaits in general ?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Straight flurocarbon only

[@MrHabitat009]

Randy are there specific color I should be looking for on the jerkbaits you recommend? Fishing highland reservoir. Typically 3-4ft visibility lots of spotted bass. Mainly fishing lake chatuge and nottley

We’re lucky enough to get all this insane knowledge

What would I do without the vast amount of knowledge this honorable man has decided to bestow upon us lucky anglers?

[@jersey4755]

Hello Randy. I know you are a huge proponent of using the Megabass Whipsnake for your jerkbait fishing. As you probably are aware Megabass makes several casting rods across their different lines specifically for fishing their jerkbaits: Destroyer P5- Oneten Special, Orochi XX F4.5-611XX JERKBAIT SPECIAL, Levante F4.5-611LV JERKBAIT SPECIAL. And the Orochi XX line even has a spinning rod specifically designed to fish jerkbaits the Ronin. My question for you would be why wouldn't any of these rods be an excellent (if not preferred) choice to use for jerkbait fishing, when the leading company in jerkbait design, Megabass put all their knowledge and experience into specifically designing those models for the technique?

[@rodneychandler82]

Bought myself a Megabass Destroyer 110 stick ( F4-65X )fairly recently , For Baicasting reel . After watching this KZbin makes me wonder 🤔

[@jersey4755]

@@rodneychandler82 I would bet you will probably love it. I use both casting and spinning rods for jerkbait fishing. I believe there are situations that call for having both in your rod arsenal. I really like using the Whipsnake for smaller jerkbaits like the 110 Jr, and X-Nanahan. But I also like using my Shimano Expride 6'10" Medium casting rod as well. Especially when the the technique calls for a more "aggresive" retrieve. Those are just what work for me, and I'm far, far, far from being an expert on the subject.

If anyone isn't confident with a jerkbait; if they have crystal clear waters where they can sight shallow bass that will help fine-tune your twitch technique more than any other on the water experience you'll have. listen to randy here- then try to implement his tips where you can actually see the bass react to your manipulations of the lure. Crystal clear 10+ft. visibility lakes are my favorite for this technique.- or any time the ct. river's runnin clear up my way.

[@robertbrost7777]

Step one, buy boat. Step 2, buy Live scope. Step 3, find where fish are. 90% of them are in 10% of the water. Step 4, watch and follow this videos technique. Bank fishermen who's fish have retreated to deeper waters which you can't reach, stay home or find something better to do with your Winter.
